Happy Earth Holiday

Daffod_2 Happy Earth Day everyone!  I don’t know about you, but I think we should make Earth Day into an Earth Holiday.

Let’s all get out of the office for some air and celebrate this beautiful blue planet we call home. Earth is our only address for now, and let’s cherish it and strive to leave it better off than we found it. This is becoming easier and more possible every day with the exciting wave of eco-innovation occurring in every sector. Bring on the hip eco-fashion, cool clean cars, high performance healthy products, and of course, the rocking green parties.

Green and blue are ultimately about life, distinguishing between what is life-enhancing and what is life-destroying. A green life can be filled with an abundance of fresh flavors, vibrant colors, clean air, clean water, variety, and pleasure just like in nature. And it can be free of pesticides, untested toxins, pollution, and short-sighted thinking.

Our collective goals are renewable energy independence from fossil fuels, high-style regenerative waste-free design, no more toxins, the slowdown of global warming, and the preservation of open space, forests, oceans, rivers, native seeds, endangered animal species, and all life on Earth. This is the dream. This is within our power.

We can rejoice in the incredible green renaissance experienced over the last year by enjoying some local organic foods, biodynamic wines, and a walk on the beach or through some spectacular trees and spring wildflowers. Thank you for going on this journey with me at Heart of Green. I couldn't do it without you. While acknowledging the work we still have to do (and we are not stopping), let’s take a moment to celebrate Earth Holiday and our fabulous planet. Let the one-day vacation begin!
